Prolotherapy, PRP and Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine

Mark Walter, M.D.

As an M.D. who specializes in musculoskeletal medicine and non-surgical orthopedics, I often see patients who have persistent joint, neck or back pain due to arthritis, disc problems or other degenerative conditions or injuries. What is often not appreciated in the conventional medical approach is the root cause of the pain in about 80% or 90% of these cases is actually the ligaments and tendons that hold the joints and vertebrae together.

The importance of recognizing these highly innervated connective tissues as the primary pain generators is that there is a little-known but highly effective medical procedure called Prolotherapy / R.I.T that can stimulate the body to heal these damaged structures and resolve the pain issues – permanently and safely! Here are a few links for further info.

Prolotherapy is very useful and often can actually permanently heal many types of Musculoskeletal pain including arthritis, knee pain, hip pain, neck and lower back pain.

Did You Know?

Did you know that 80% of chronic and persistent musculoskeletal pain comes from the connective tissues i.e. the highly innervated attachments of ligaments and tendons, and not from bone, cartilage and nerve problems?
And did you know that this diagnosis is often overlooked because X-ray and MRI is not sensitive enough to pick up sprained ligament and tendon insertions (what we call stretched insertions), which is often the root cause of the pain?
Did you know that there is a safe and highly effective treatment to stimulate the body to repair these structures and heal the root-cause of the problem, without resorting to surgery?
